FAAC 412 Replacement Arm – 412DX or 412SX

Electromechanical Replacement Operator for Residential Swing Gates

The FAAC 412 replacement operator is designed for existing FAAC 412 residential swing gate systems and is available in separate right-hinged and left-hinged configurations. The 412DX (104475) is used on right-hinged gates, while the 412SX (104476) is used on left-hinged gates.

The 412 is a self-contained electromechanical linear gate operator that uses an electric motor and internal worm screw to move the gate leaf. It is designed for light residential, single-family vehicular swing gates with leaf widths from 6 to 14 feet and weights up to 500 pounds. The operator provides up to 719 lbf of thrust and opens a properly installed gate approximately 90 degrees in 16 seconds.

The FAAC 412 mechanically locks the gate in both the open and closed positions, so an electric lock is not normally required. FAAC does recommend an electric or magnetic lock for gate leaves longer than 12 feet. Positive mechanical gate stops are required in both the fully open and fully closed positions.

This listing is intended for replacement of an existing FAAC 412 operator. Select the correct DX or SX orientation to match the hinge side of the gate. The protective arm sleeve/cover is not included and is sold separately.

How to Determine Left-Hinged vs. Right-Hinged

Stand on the operator side of the gate, facing the gate, with the FAAC logo on the motor housing facing you. For a typical inward-swing installation, this means standing inside the property with the gate leaves swinging toward you.

• Hinges on your right: Select the FAAC 412DX (104475) Right-Hinged operator.
• Hinges on your left: Select the FAAC 412SX (104476) Left-Hinged operator.

The left- or right-hinged designation refers to the location of the gate hinge, not simply the direction the gate swings. FAAC specifically uses different motor housings for the SX and DX versions, and installing the operator on the wrong side prevents the protective cover from being installed correctly.

For a typical dual swing gate, one gate leaf uses a 412DX and the opposite leaf uses a 412SX.

What Is Included

• 1 FAAC 412 replacement operator in the selected 412DX or 412SX configuration

The protective arm sleeve/cover, control board, enclosure, receiver, transmitters, photocells, and other system components are not included unless specifically stated elsewhere on the product page.

Conclusion

The FAAC 412DX and 412SX are orientation-specific replacement operators for existing FAAC 412 residential swing gate systems. Match the replacement to the gate's hinge location before ordering, and confirm that the gate remains within the 412's dimensional and weight requirements. Gate design, mounting geometry, wind load, temperature, and overall gate condition can affect actual operator performance.
